Do not use any cleaning chemicals as they will most likely damage lens mirror and make the headlight work even worst!

10x. i have changed the parking ligts today. your video helped me. good luck
Thank will try this at the weekend!!
Is there a way to angle the beam up a tiny bit more, volvo decided to point 90% of the light at the floor.
Hi, could you do this procedure for the halogen based headlight in volvo s40/v50 face lift version. the third screw in there is at even odd position. if you could please have a look and have a say how to get that opened, i will really appreciate that
Thanks for the straightforward tutorial.
My headlight aim is low. Is there a way where I could adjust it to have a higher aim somewhere? Based on your tutorial, I can fit a washer on the top screws so that I could achieve that.
Any recommendations?
@mr-fix Great vid thanks. Slightly off topic, are those the OSRAM nightbreaker bulbs? And if so do they give a xenon-like effect? I want to achieve as close to a HID kit effect as I can without installing the kit as they're now illegal. Any info appreciated. Thanks.

Hi! Those are just standard bulbs. I do NOT recommend installing "extra bright +25% xenon-effect HD night breaker" bulbs. With extra light they produce extra heat which will burn the lens mirror and in few months your light will be worse the before.
H7 bulbs by law are limited to 1500 lumens (+/- 10%) and xenon makes 2000-3000 lumens.
hi thanks for posting. But how did you painted the amber reflective material? does it still reflect some light?
I didn't. Those are stock C30 headlights.
Do you need to adjust the height and position somehow after doing this? I want to do it on my old Ford that has xenon porjector head lights. It looks very similiar to this. Thanks!
Dan Isaksson No. You don't need to adjust your lights after doing that. But just to be sure mark the light/shadow line on the wall before starting and compare at the end.
hello, can i use this tutorial to install angel eye halo in the c30 projector?
It should be helpful.
Is there a chance to damage the paint that covers the reflector so it starts to hatch?
+dobromir86 if the paint is burned there's a chance that you'll damage it more by trying to clean it.
Great video! Hopefully you will reply on this one: Do you have to realign the headlights again? I don't want to blind my fellow road travellers :)
There should be no need for that but you can check just to be sure.
Thank you for the quick reaction! :) Keep up the good work with your video's!
Did this just today. On Volvo v50.
One bad thing I managed to get is the right or left lamp one of the screw is blocked by big plastic which regulates the height of the beam. It took me an hour to remove the screw and put it back in later on.
Cleaned the lens they were covered with white dust, my reflectors are a bit burnt.
Installed Philips white vision halogenas will test out at night.
Any tips how to dissasmble the reflectors from the lens? They are not held by screws... Was wondering because thinking to change the burnt reflectors.
Thanks in advance.
Ive got the same problem where the headlamp aim motor housing is in the way of the screw head!
Ive done this side. But what about the other side because the motor thing is in the way of getting one of the screws out.
If you adjust the light and use a thin screwdriver you can get it out.
Would this work on xc90 bixenon headlights?
Did you try it? I need to do something with my XC70 -08 headlights.
hi I've tried doing this got as far as removing 2 of the t25 screws but then 1 of the screws seems inaccessible - any advice? thanks
You can adjust headlights so the 3rd screw is more accessible or even slightly bend the housing so it does not hit the adjustment motor. (do at your own risk)
HelloDo you know how to remove projector from v70 2011? Thank You
Didn't had the chance to check 2011 V70 yet. Sorry.
I want to know above v60
Driver sides easy have u tried passenger side one
I did. No problem in my C30; had to slightly bend the assembly in V50 but got it done.
Are they 2.5 inches or 3 inches?
hi, I'm trying to replace these projectors with aftermarket ones from morimoto. do you know the size of these?
+captainsimflyer99 sorry, no.
there is also the video for the left headlight?
+Andrea Galtelli no, but left and right side are not that much a difference. Only thing that you should watch for is that one side has poor access to one of the screws.
Are both of the screws for the left and the right headlights t25?
yes.
I guess my right headlight has been replaced then, it's with t20 screws.
that or previous owner renewed the projector mirror.
It doesn't matter, your video helped me to clean both my lenses. Thank you! :)
Happy to help!
How adjustment low beam headlights ?
Volvo V50
two knobs. need to remove headlights to access lower one.
I see you are elusive in showing the safety release pin.
Grab and pull. As simple as that. It's even the the owners manual.
1:53 cant help but notice tht the build in reflector is badly oxidized, why not restore the chrome coating?
I've replaced both projectors with new ones shortly after.
Didn't work for me. I can't get to one of the screws. I think the motor for the adjuster is blocking it.
YonOtto try to regulate headlights before trying to reach the screw.
+mr-fix i think he have a little bit different model, i tried to do this too, but there you can easily access just two screws, third one blocked and can be accessed with screwdriver just by 30 degree angle. My (halogen) looks like this imgur.com/XQFJxzT
Martynas Shnaresys It was so much hard work to get the final screw out, I actually had to force the reflector down away from the black shroud that was blocking the final screw. I took a risk of actually breaking the reflector with the amount of force I had to use to get to that final screw. Luckily the reflectors held up. I have them out and cleaned the glass. I have reattached the reflectors with the just the two easier accessed screws so I don't have to go through that ball-ache again. The reflectors are fine being held with just two screws. They don't move at all.
That's good to know! Thanks for sharing.
+Martynas Shnaresys in the v50 headlight housing there are 2 other screws connected with white plastic pieces above the 3 he discussed in this video. If you loosen (do not remove) these screws the entire reflector will then move enough for you to access the last screw.
Thats Cute!! But the inside of Headlight Housing Still has dirty film etc!! This is Only 1/2 of it!! Now clean inside of headlight Housing?! You can't!! So only 50%Clean !! SO Clean Lens..Dirty Housing Plastic!!
Why you clean chromed surface with a cloth? It's so stupid, downvoted.
